K and Apple are amazing hosts. Apple was so kind offering me hot water when I was unwell, lifts to the station including one at 5:30 in the morning when I had to catch a flight. She is a talented cook, and I really enjoyed learning how to make genuine Thai food from such an expert!
K the man himself, made my time in Bangkok a real experience. He came out with me whenever he could, to markets, to Khaosan, and showed me a side to Bangkok I would never have found myself. We went to rooftop bars to watch the sunset and local food stalls.
The place itself is quite far from Khaosan if y]using public transport, which is the cheapest option. You need to take the MRT, Sky train, followed by the express boat. Whilst this took some time, it voids all the traffic in Bangkok which can be maddening. You learn how to use the transport system this way and once you know how easy it is you can go to multiple places and see more of Bangkok than just Kaosan Road.
K drove me around on his scooter, took me to bars, clubs, pubs, markets, hung out with me while he destroyed me on Fifa, watched football with me, and ultimately became a friend.
This is why you're on Airbnb, is it not? To meet local people and have a home away from home? K and Apple will make you feel more than welcome. I wish I spent more than a week with them, it just flew by!
Thank you both so much, you are wonderful people and excellent hosts!
